SURREY.

Correspondence to People’s Pilot. Roads muddy, most muddy. Gravel road from Surrey to connect with same two miles east would be acceptable at present. Some one whisper it around and let us have it. Mr. Leek of LaSalle county, 111., has moved on the farm near Surrey, lately purchased from D. B. Nowels. Winfred Pullens is nursing a very bad burned hand, caused by trying to light the gasolene heater of his brooder while burning; narrow escape with his life. Sum total of chickens which his big hen (incubator) hatched, 275. Mr. Pearl Jett from Kentucky is the guest of Simon Kenton. John Kenton has returned from Hillsdale, Mich., to spend the summer. Thomas Lang has given up farming. Perhaps he will locate in the State of Matrimony. We wish him well. Jasper Kenton has been spending a week with friends near his old home. K.
